Study Groups

Study groups are an integral part of the Texas Executive MBA Program. Students interact with classmates from many different industries and functional backgrounds to expand their understanding of the problems and opportunities currently facing managers. Recognition of the importance of and difficulties associated with the formation and development of successful work groups is an explicit feature of the Texas Executive MBA Program curriculum. The use of the sophisticated e-mail and discussion database features of Sharepoint groupware allow students to form study groups without reference to geography.
